C. All of them can be dissolved because, they are all solvents.
To calculate the pH of this solution, we use the
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log ([A-]/[HA])
Where,
[A-] = Molarity of the conjugate base =
CH3COO- = 0.29 M<span>
<span>[HA] = Molarity of the weak acid = CH3COOH = 0.18 M</span></span>
pKa = dissociation constant of the weak acid =
4.75
When KOH is added to the buffer, the chemical
reaction is:
CH3COOH + KOH = CH3COO-K+ + H2O
Therefore when 0.0090 mol KOH is added, 0.0090
mol acid is neutralized, and 0.0090 mol CH3COO- is produced.
[CH3COO-] = [0.0090 mol + 0.375 L (0.29 mol/L) ]
/ 0.375 L = 0.314 M
[CH3COOH] = [-0.0090 mol + 0.375 L (0.18 mol/L) ]
/ 0.375 L = 0.156 M
Going back to Henderson-Hasselbalch
equation:
pH = 4.75 + log (0.314 / 0.156)
<span>pH = 5.054</span>
It is important because even if you believe your new product idea is a guaranteed winner, testing the market before you launch can help you tweak what you’re selling or how you’re selling it, helping you maximize your profits. Product marketing tests let you evaluate multiple aspects of your business strategy before you commit your entire budget.
